This patch adds a new eth_dev layer API function rte_eth_dev_reset(),
which a DPDK application can call to reset a NIC and keep its port id
afterwards. It means that all software resources allocated in the ethdev 
layer are kept, and software & hardware resources of the NIC within the 
NIC's PMD are reset to a state simular to that obtained by calling the 
PCI dev_uninit() and then dev_init(). This effective sequence of 
dev_uninit() and dev_init() is packed into a single API function 
rte_eth_dev_reset().

Please see the comments before the declaration of rte_eht_dev_reset()
in lib/librte_ether/rte_ethdev.h to get more details on why this
function is needed, what it does, when it should be called
and what an application should do after calling this function.

When a port has to be reset passively, the DPDK application can invoke 
this function. For example when a PF is reset, all its VFs should also 
be reset. Normally a DPDK application can invoke this function when 
RTE_ETH_EVENT_INTR_RESET event is detected, but can also use it to start 
a port reset in other circumstances.

When this function is called, it first stops the port and then calls the 
PMD specific dev_uninit( ) and dev_init( ) to return the port to initial 
state, in which no Tx and Rx queues are setup, as if the port has been 
reset and not started. The port keeps the port id it had before the 
function call.

After calling rte_eth_dev_reset( ), the application should use
rte_eth_dev_configure( ), rte_eth_rx_queue_setup( ),
rte_eth_tx_queue_setup( ), and rte_eth_dev_start( )
to reconfigure the device as appropriate.

Note: To avoid unexpected behavior, the application should stop calling 
Tx and Rx functions before calling rte_eth_dev_reset( ). For thread 
safety, all these controlling functions should be called from the same 
thread.
